Mark 6:3 (ESV)
1 He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
2 And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.
4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.”
1. Mary presented him at the temple for consecration
Simeon consecrates Jesus and says
Luke 2:34-35
34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
“and a sword will pierce your soul as well”
—Luke 2:35
2. Jesus at Twelve Years Old in the Temple
Luke 2:41–52 (BSB)
41 Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
43 When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware of it.
44 Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
45 When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
46 Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
48 When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Son,” His mother said to Him, “why have You done this to us? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
49 “Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
50 But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
51 Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
3. The Wedding at Cana
John 2:1–11 (BSB)
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2 and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8 “Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10 and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and after the guests are drunk, the cheaper wine. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”
11 Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
Mark 3:21 (BSB)
21 When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”
John 7:5 (BSB)
5 For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
4. Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Seek Him
Mark 3:31–35 (BSB)
31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,
32 and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” they said, “Your mother and brothers are outside asking for You.”
33 But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34 Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!
35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
5. Mary at the Crucifixion
John 19:25–27 (BSB)
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
27 Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
6. Mary with the Disciples After the Resurrection
Acts 1:12–14 (BSB)
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Mary visits Elizabeth
Luke 1:39–56(BSB)
39 In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
